Where to install Rome Total War before Installing EB

[MisterFred]

?

I just make it simple
c:\games\CleanRTW15
c:\games\EB
c:\games\EB-MP

P.S. As far as I can tell, CTDs are an inherent problem with Rome: Total War in general. Not campaign-ending, unrecoverable CTDs... I only had that problem once before I moved to Alex.exe, and a five-game-year old save solved even that one. But all versions of RTW I've played (including vanilla) have had a problem with sometimes crashing when doing certain actions (especially at the end of a battle, particularly annoying), but its always fixed by just restarting the computer and playing again. My guess is that the RTW engine has a memory leak problem that makes it more unstable the longer you play it in a single session.

For this reason I just make sure auto-save is turned on, and save before the beginning of every battle. If the auto-save becomes corrupt (only had the problem once), I just go back to factionBAT or whatever my battle save is.
